Directory traversal vulnerability in NextChat thru 2.16.0 due to the WebDAV proxy failing to canonicalize or reject dot path segments in its catch-all route, allowing attackers to gain sensitive information via authenticated or anonymous WebDAV endpoints.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-50735 presents notable security risk, a path traversal vulnerability rated CVSS 7.5. This could allow attackers to access or modify files outside intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or credentials. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict file upload functionality via WAF; (2) Implement allowlist-based file type validation; (3) Use chroot/containerization to limit filesystem access.
